Configuring the RNIF AdapterLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

RNIF adapters support the data communication standard RosettaNet Implementation Framework (RNIF) defined by RosettaNet. This standard defines RNIF protocol versions 1.1 and 2.0. The RNIF 1.1 adapter and RNIF 2.0 adapter are based on these protocols.

You use RNIF adapters to send messages between the Integration Server and a RosettaNet-compliant system in a cross-company process. For a description of which configuration objects you must create in the Integration Directory, see the section on Business-to-Business (B2B) processes in SAP NetWeaver Library under SAP NetWeaver Process Integration.

Note

For more information about RNIF, see www.rosettanet.org.

Caution

When you have installed the Advanced Adapter Engine Extended (AEX), integration processes cannot be used. Therefore, the following restriction applies with regard to the usage of the RosettaNet business packages: those scenarios of the business package that use integration processes are not supported in that case.

Prerequisites
  • The SAP Business Package for RosettaNet provides you with an end-to-end solution for collaborative commerce based on high tech industry standards. The scenario covers the Order to Invoice process involving an IDoc adapter.

    For more information about the SAP Business Package for RosettaNet, see http://service.sap.com/swdc → Installations and Upgrades → Browse our Download Catalog → SAP Content → ESR Content (XI Content) → XI CONTENT RNIF.

Procedure
  1. Check whether the naming conventions for service interfaces and communication components are adhered to for RNIF adapter use:

    RNIF 1.1: Service Interface Naming, RNIF 1.1 , Using Conventions for Communication Component Names

    RNIF 2.0: Service Interface Naming, RNIF 2.0 , Using Conventions for Communication Component Names

  2. Create an RNIF adapter in the Integration Directory.
